6 Things That Will Accelerate the Growth of Your Online Business

I can say with certainty, I regret nothing in my life. Corny right? But seriously, I love where I am so much, changing anything would be unnecessary.

Now, that doesn’t mean I haven’t learned better ways to do things…

In terms of my internet businesses, I have learned through trial and error. Lots of mistakes and lots of successes.

This gave me a very good understanding of a lot of important concepts and I learned a ton along the way

This is all well and good, but I spent a ton of time in the process.

Life is short. There is no need for you to start as slowly as I did!

So I want to share the 6 things you can do now to make your business grow much, much faster.

1. Start a blog

It doesn’t matter how much you know or don’t know. As long as what you write is honest, well thought out and based on facts, you are already better than most long time bloggers.

Remember that all blogs start somewhere and writing is one of the best ways to learn something.

Entreresource.com is only 1-year-old! I am kicking myself for not starting it sooner.

Your blog is the first place you can start collecting emails. Do that from day one! You probably won’t get very many at first, but you will be glad you started early. I recommend ConverKit for your email platform, but there are free options for smaller lists like MailChimp.

2. Create a group on social media.

Growing these groups is not easy! It takes a lot of time and energy, so start now. I made my group FBA Today on Facebook and it has been a tremendous asset for me.

If you go with a Facebook group (my recommendation for several reasons) I highly recommend you also start a FaceBook page for your site or brand. You will be glad you have a page when and if you start utilizing Facebook ads (which I also highly recommend when your budget allows for it.)

While social media groups are great, remember, you don’t control what happens with the audience. Facebook, Linkedin or any other platform can close you down at any second and, poof, your audience is decimated.

So, it is critically important that you make an effort to get your group or page members onto your email list!

3. Write an ebook.

Don’t roll your eyes! I’m serious! It isn’t as overwhelming as it may seem.

An ebook is like a business card on steroids. Be sure to include relevant links back to your blog + social media groups. These can be as short as 5,000 words! Seriously, just make good, quick content and it will pay off many times over.
